Summary

Description
English: Five-piece dissections of two unequal squares to a single square, formed by overlaying a square tiling onto the Pythagorean tiling, and based on proofs of the Pythagorean theorem by Al-Nayrizi and Thābit ibn Qurra (left), and by Henry Perigal (right). The side lengths of the two squares in the tiling and the third square overlaid on the tiling are proportional to the Pythagorean triple 5:12:13.
